Winter Ball

The Thalia-Beau Foundation is hosting its annual Winter Ball at the Scarborough Spa on Saturday 21 November, from 6:30 pm to midnight. It's an adults-only fundraiser, and the whole evening is built around a Winter Wonderland theme, so it's the kind of night where you'll want to dress up and lean into the season. The night starts with welcome drinks, followed by a three-course meal, live music and entertainment, and a raffle. Every ticket bought and every dance shared goes to the cause.

For those who haven't come across them, the Thalia-Beau Foundation is a Scarborough charity set up in memory of five-year-old Thalia-Beau. They work with children facing life-limiting illness during hospital stays, providing care packages and seasonal gifts, and they offer support to bereaved parents. The Winter Ball is their main annual fundraiser, so the money raised goes directly into that work. If you're looking for a night out that does something useful for the community, this is a good place to put your evening.

Tickets are £67 per person, and there are group options for tables of eight, nine or ten, which makes it easier to bring a whole crowd together rather than just a couple of friends. The ball takes place in the Ocean Room at the Scarborough Spa, YO11 2HD, and runs from 6:30 pm through to midnight. If you're after something a bit more family-friendly, the foundation also puts on an autumn screening of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas at North Bay Playhouse.
